Two persons were injured as cadres of BCL and Islamic Chhatra Shibir clashed at Dinajpur Government College over a trifling mater on Sunday. Injured Ripon, 22, and Kayes, 23, are outsider activists of BCL. Sources said that the clash ensued around 12.30 over a seating place on the campus. Shibir cadres left the place but reappeared with a group led by Motiur Rahman and Abdul Kayyum, Shibir president and general secretary respectively of Dinajpur Government College unit. They attacked the BCL men suddenly with wooden sticks and brickbats leaving at least two people wounded on the spot. Protesting the attack, the BCL men brought a protest procession on the campus.
